DaveDanger Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 My son purchased a can of seafoam at the local car parts place here a week or so ago... $6 bucks and change. We have a 350 V8 that had swallowed various gaskets allowing water to mix with the oil. After performing all the arcane healing rituals (involving large quantities of Snap-On® tools) required to solve the problem, we serviced the engine with a cheap 20-50 oil and half a can of seafoam to run for a few hours then another oil & filter change to help purge the moisture from the crankcase and other places. When I opened the can of seafoam and sniffed it, I decided it was about 70% alcohol. I deal with a variety of alcohols in my aircraft maintenance work, and this stuff smelled very strongly the same. I do like Marvel Mystery Oil myself. We'll add the second half of the Seafoam can after we change the oil again... just for Gee Whiz effects.
